Gangapur, a village alongside the
famed Kolkata Leather Complex under the jurisdiction of the Kolkata Leather Complex Police Station
within 24 Paraganas (South) district, remained witness to a communal fracas on December
24, 2013 due to bids of fortifying an illegal mosque in the environs. It has
been learnt, a few people (belonging to Muslim community) appeared in the land
sharing an ancient temple of Banadevi surprisingly and without consulting
anyone, they commenced to build up a new structure – later found as an illicit
mosque. The news was enough to both unnerve and enrage local Hindus as they
knew that they would have to pay a high price for this ultimately. It
is worth mentioning, the ancient temple exists within 100 meters of the
disputed and illegal structure; Hindus worship at the temple regularly and the
Banadevi fair is also organized there annually. As a result, the effort behind this new mosque
was deemed as evil by local Hindus. They also realized that completion of th…

What
is the best way to woo Muslims and get identified as a true secular in a state
like Uttar Pradesh? There are, indeed, various ways but to get back Muslim
support, especially after vicious Muzaffarnagar riots in 2013, the best way is
to assign a Muslim police official or administrator to the topmost post of the
state administration. And the Akhilesh Yadav government has followed this route
by naming Rizwan Ahmed as the first Muslim Director General Police of the
state. Despite the fact that the riot despoiled both Hindu and Muslim
communities simultaneously, weird secularism prevailing India opts for designating
a Muslim police official only. In this case, Mulayam
Singh Yadav, Samajwadi Party supremo, call
the shots finally. The report
on rediff.com also states that “Evidently, Mulayam’s Final Decision Is Understood To Have Been
Influenced By His Desperation To Woo Back Muslims, Who Were Appearing To Be
Terribly Disillusioned With The Ruling SP Because Of The Government’s Poor
Hand…

“The Ultimate Jihad” – latest documentary of Shahriar Kabir,
noted journalist, filmmaker, human rights activist from Bangladesh and also
leader of anti-fundamentalism struggle, has evoked a good response from the
audience in Kolkata who witnessed it on Saturday, December 21. Terming the
rough treatment of Debjani Khobragade, Indian diplomat stationed in the United
States, of late by the indigenous governance there as a novel American endeavor
to caution India, Shahriar Kabir stated that it was the fallout of a bitter
disagreement between India and United States over the nature of Islamic
fundamentalism in the Indian subcontinent. United States is making all efforts
to strengthen Jamaat as the spokesperson of “soft religious bigotry” against
the all-encompassing fundamentalism championed by Talibans – a notion refuted
by India, known to bear burnt of Islamic terrorist attacks always. To Know More Please Read: http://jagobangla.blogspot.in/2013/12/shahriar-kabirs-documentary-evidences.ht…

Now it’s the time for the
district of Murshidabad to witness another spate of rape; a middle-aged Hindu housewife
has been raped within an ambulance by its driver. The gruesome incident took
place in the dead of night on December 27, 2013 at the field of Benepura under
the jurisdiction of the police station of Hariharpara in the district of
Murshidabad. It has come to knowledge, the
victim or middle-aged housewife lives in the village of Choana and her daughter
Mrs. Ruma Sarkar was shifted to Hariharpara Block Health Center owing to acute labor
pain on last Friday. Ruma was not alone; she was joined by her mother to the local
hospital in an ambulance driven by Habib Sheikh. The admission took hours
scaring Ruma’s mother a lot as she had no option except to return to her own
residence in Choana. However, Habib
assured that he would personally escort her to the residence. But (while
returning) the ambulance was driven to Benepura through Swaruppur; the vehicle
reached the field of Benep…

December, 2013District: North 24 Parganas;Police Station: Sandeshkhali;Village: Mekuakhali Bhuiyanpara
.
In the middle of 2013, several Hindu members of the infamous Sandeshkhali area don Shahjahan Sheikh's gang deserted him. Reason ? Amiya Bhuiyan and his friends left the criminal group as they grew unhappy with the persecution meted out to Hindus in the locality. Recently, only Hindus and Hindu owned businesses were being targeted exclusively by Sheikh. As an example, his men would poison and destroy Hindu owned fish ponds, terrorize the Hindu owners, chase them out, and then sell only to Muslims. Therefore, the Hindu gang members felt that the Muslim gangster was disenfranchising Hindus only, and benefiting the Muslims in the area, and not religiously neutral, and this led to an exodus by Hindus from the group.
.
On 16th December 2013, a Hindu Samhati team visited Mekuakhali Bhuiyanpara village accompanied by Dilip Mehta, Hindu activist and leader of Hindu Mahasabha of Americ…

Whatever
may be the intensity of atrocities perpetrated by the Pakistani Army and
governance on Bengalis in 1971 at East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), Pakistani polity
remains unapologetic yet and it was found best when the National Assembly in Pakistan
passed a resolution condemning the hanging of Abdul Quader Molla (or the Butcher
of Mirpur), tried, sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh
and hence executed. The grief in the Islamic world following the hanging remains
unique – while Chaudhury Nisar Ali Khan (current Interior Minister in Pakistan)
termed the execution of this infamous leader of Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh as
a “judicial murder”, Imran Khan, globally acclaimed cricketer and also chairman
of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), called Molla as innocent and
charges against him as fabricated. Other
Islamic institutions are not lagging as well. Muslim Council of Britain termed
the entire development as "a sad day for Bangladesh and sad day for …

The
political impasse in Bangladesh is worsening with each hour it passes and the
trigger-happy reaction of Jamaat and its Islamist accomplices following Qader
Mullah’s execution is virtually holding the entire country to ransom. Exploiting
the apparent political indisposition of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (known for
hobnobbing with radical and pro-Pakistan Islamic groups in the country
recurrently), Islamists are leaving no stone unturned to turn the entire country
to a complete hell, as per fresh reports that are coming in. While Awami League
workers are also being attacked by Jamaat and Islai Chatrashibir cadres,
religious minority communities, especially Hindus, remain their first and
foremost target. The statement of Makbul
Ahmed, well-known leader of Jamaat-e-Islami, is worth mentioning in this
context. In a press statement issued on late Thursday he stated "people
would take revenge on this killing by establishing Islam in Bangladesh, which
is stained with the blood of A…

Unfolding a new chapter in the
history of West Bengal, Hindu Samhati, to express its abhorrence against the
ongoing Hindu persecution in Bangladesh and also to convey its solidarity to minority
Hindus there, brought out a massive protest march in the town of Bangaon in
North 24 Paraganas district, on December 10, 2013. The demonstration which
commenced its headway from Batar More (crossing) in the noon was joined by
Hindus in throngs and while the march went on, hundreds of Hindus were
witnessed (on both sides of the thoroughfare) to cheer it. Some were even found
to term Hindu Samhati’s endeavor as opportune and as the only way to make the
nonchalant, obtuse Indian governance conscious of the cruel reality on the
other side of the border and how any more silence may destabilize the integrity
and also economy of India. It is worth
to mention, hundreds of Hindu families, as per fresh reports, have already
entered the Indian mainland for security following the violent clashes back
home…

The
number of minority people in Bangladesh is declining fast and as per the census
in 2011, the number of Hindus has decreased by 24%. Officials of Bangladesh
Bureau of Statistics stated (on condition of anonymity), the number of Hindus
may decline more in the next census. If facts of census are analyzed, in 1901
Hindus comprised 33% of the entire population in the territory shaping
contemporary Bangladesh. The first census of independent Bangladesh in 1971
revealed that Hindus represented 13% of the entire populace and by 2001 it came
down to 9.3%. However, at the same time, there has not been significant
reduction of Buddhists, Christians and other religious minority groups. On the
other hand, the number of Muslims has increased exponentially. To Know More Please Read: http://eastbengaleye.blogspot.in/2013/12/minority-people-are-diminishing-in.html
